Old Fashioned Scrapbooks

Do you like the look of old fashioned scrapbooks? I remember when I was a girl finding a BIG scrapbook that my grandma had started for my mom of her school papers and things. Grandma was a scrapbooker by nature, I think, but life got in the way. Sound familiar? ;-)

I am in the process of scanning a scrapbook of my mom's infancy. Grandma only had my mom at the time, so I'm sure the thought of putting those sweet snapshots into albums was not so daunting of a task. She did pretty well at the beginning... But just like many of us, life again got in the way.

I do have a great legacy passed down to me from my Grandma, however. She made photo albums for each of her children with photos and genealogy, as well as snapshots through the years. I cherish this book -- which I had borrowed from my mom to scan a photo or two, only to discover my having the book saved it. My parents house caught fire and many of the books and photos in the front room were ruined. The book is safe! :) I must be sure to preserve the photos I have, write stories to go with them, and make copies. With digital scrapbooking and scanners, making copies is a LOT easier than when Grandma made these photo albums. Much, much easier.

Here is a front cover of the album... so 1940's and so cute!


Here is a page from inside...


and another:


I will be back in the next week with new templates. I have them in files, but need to upload them to 4shared.

Have a great first week of December!

Get Meaningful School Days and Free Layered Template

If you're like me, sometimes you need a push to get scrapping. For me, I often need a topic to scrap about. The blog: http://jessicabree.typepad.com/get_meaningful/2009/10/lesson-25-school-days.html is inspiring me to do some scrapping and yes, make it meaningful. Not that birthday layouts aren't meaningful, as they are! I just feel so wasted mentally that I need something to focus my attention, if it's only for a few minutes to scrap.

Here is my layout for Lesson 25, School Days.

and you can download the layered template for free at:

http://www.4shared.com/file/143906681/cf0b680c/dece_oct09_09.html

If you download the template, please leave a comment for me! :) I would love to see what you create with it!

Off to get kids to school (and hopefully a baby to bed!),

Still Scanning...

Okay, I totally lost my last post. Ugh.

I'm in the midst of a huge pile of photos, scanning like crazy. I'm trying to get my MIL's photos scanned before Halloween night, as I want to start writing my 50K words for the

Get Meaningful - Dear Dominic

I was browsing through the Pubcalls - or whatever it's called now - newsletter and found this challenge, Get Meaningful on http://jessicabree.typepad.com/get_meaningful/2009/09/lesson-24-dear.html#comments


I took the moment to make a quick layout using a free template that I have downloaded, and some digital goodies I've downloaded. If you want to know the designers, I can figure it out, but seeing as I've already closed the file, I am being lazy. LOL





Here is my attempt at being meaningful...

Thanks for looking. Time to wipe the tears from my face and go take care of my baby boy. His ear infection is getting better, but he's still grouchy. ;-)

Scanning Mode

I have been in "scanning mode" for everything lately. I am in the midst of a big project: scanning the photos, negatives, and slides of my own family as well as my husband's family. Ahh, what's a few thousand photos, right? LOL

Here is a layout I did last week of my sweet Dominic.

I will be back soon with another new digital template. :)

First Free Digital Scrapbooking Template

Well, I have done it! Below you will find a link to my digital scrapbook template, as well as a sample layout I created today using the template! :) Enjoy!

click for 4shared link: http://www.4shared.com/file/131549268/68263b27/dece1_sep09.html

here is an example of this template:

As I get more savvy with my program and with posting, I hope the layouts and the templates will become more involved and "professional". I used 2peas, Spring Chicken by The Queen of Quirk for the background papers and color palette.

Thanks for looking! :)

Life insists on Digital Scrapping

My life is up and down. A new baby makes it impossible to scrap with scissors and glue, so I'm digi scrapping and I love the results! :)

I hope to learn enough about digital scrapbooking to create my own papers and embellishments, but until then, I will use the vast collection of digi-scrap materials I've collected. I also will be posting links to the layered templates I make while scrapping.

I hope you are recording your memories, whether blogging or making darling scrapbooks, it's all important in sharing your family history.
